Wang Yue knew that with his current strength, he was unable to inflict any effective damage on the bandaged man.
Conversely, if the bandaged man landed a punch on him, even if he wouldn't die on the spot, he would likely be severely injured.
However.
Wang Yue glanced at his attribute points.
He still had a full 14 attribute points unused.
After some thought.
Wang Yue immediately allocated five points to Physique.
"Boom!"
The moment his Physique reached 90.
Wang Yue felt his entire body tremble. A warm current flowed through his limbs, and his bones crackled with a series of pops and snaps.
At this moment, Wang Yue felt incredibly powerful, as if reborn!
He felt that the moment his attributes were stacked to 90, his body had undergone a qualitative change!
Just now, he had found the bandaged man's palm strike exaggerated, but now Wang Yue felt that if it were him, he could punch through that wall with a single blow!
The bandaged man seemed to have noticed Wang Yue's anomaly as well.
"Interesting, have you broken through?"
The bandaged man said with a touch of narcissism, "It seems I've put too much pressure on you, to the point where you can break through mid-battle. But geniuses like you who can break through mid-battle are truly enviable. I've decided, I'm going to cripple you."
With that, the bandaged man charged forward rapidly once more.
He unleashed a punch, and wherever it passed, even the air distorted.
"Good."
This time, Wang Yue did not dodge. He charged straight forward.
"Boom!"
The two exchanged a punch.
The bandaged man's confident face instantly turned pale.
"Crack!"
The sound of his bone breaking echoed from his fist.
The next second, the bandaged man flew backward, smashing heavily into the wall, creating a shallow pit.
"How is this possible!"
The bandaged man's eyes widened in horror.
Just moments ago, he had felt Wang Yue's punch was soft and weak, like a tickle, but now, this guy had broken his bone in a single exchange?
Was he hiding his strength?
The bandaged man couldn't understand, but he was already a little scared.
Wang Yue's punch had dispersed his internal energy. The terrifying power made him sigh in admiration.
"I'm done playing with you."
The bandaged man leaped up from the ground, dashed into the stairwell, and fled.
Wang Yue did not pursue. He couldn't be bothered to chase after this bandaged man who acted like a lunatic.
Who knew what traps might be waiting for him.
Seeing the bandaged man defeated, Tu Jiao quickly ran over and asked Wang Yue, "Xiao Yue, are you alright?"
Wang Yue smiled and said, "What could happen to me? That guy's bones are broken."
"It's good you're alright. That guy was too terrifying."
Tu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Tian Yi was in a worse state.
He had been sneak-attacked with a kick to the stomach, almost dislocating his internal organs.
However, fortunately, he was also a martial artist, so he wasn't seriously injured and didn't have internal bleeding.
"Do you want me to take a look for you?"
Wang Yue asked.
"Then thank you, Divine Doctor Wang."
Tian Yi said miserably.
After taking Tian Yi's pulse, Wang Yue said, "No serious issues. You just need some rest."
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Wang."
Tian Yi also relaxed.
Then he said to Tu Jiao, "Junior Sister, you wait outside the ward for us."
"No."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yue said at this moment.
"Ah?"
Tian Yi looked at Wang Yue, puzzled.
"The bandaged man from before was clearly targeting Sister Jiao. He might come back, and Sister Jiao would be in danger. It's safer for her to stay by my side."
Wang Yue explained.
Tian Yi listened and found that he had no reason to refuse.
After all, the bandaged man had indeed targeted Tu Jiao.
But if Tu Jiao entered the ward, wouldn't everything be exposed? Thinking this, Tian Yi felt a sense of despair.
It seemed that today's matter was unlikely to succeed.
The three of them entered Ward 402 together. Tian Yi sighed inwardly, fine, if it was exposed, it was exposed. Those things could be lost. He had tried his best.
Upon entering the ward, Wang Yue saw the old man lying on the bed.
Tu Jiao also saw him and felt he looked familiar.
Wang Yue walked over. The old man was clearly unconscious. He reached out and felt the old man's pulse.
It was obscure and unclear, with blocked blood circulation. It was very similar to Elder Tu's symptoms, yet distinctly different.
Wang Yue frowned. This was clearly not a case of ordinary external evil invading the body; it was likely man-made.
Wang Yue said to Tian Yi, "Has your relative offended anyone recently?"
"N-no."
Tian Yi was startled and stammered.
At this moment, Tu Jiao also walked over. When she saw the old man's face clearly, she exclaimed, "Isn't this Grandpa Li? Tian Yi, what's going on?"
Seeing that the matter had finally been exposed, Tian Yi confessed.
"Li Tianci found me and asked me to beg Divine Doctor Wang to treat their elder. He promised me generous compensation."
Tian Yi said, lowering his head.
Tu Jiao was amused and angry. "Senior Brother Tian, you should have told me the truth about this matter instead of lying to me and deceiving me."
"Junior Sister, aren't you and the Li family arch-enemies? If I had told you, you would definitely not have helped me, so I had to lie."
Tian Yi sighed and said.
"My family and the Li family have their disagreements, but it's not to the point of being arch-enemies. Besides, Grandpa Li is different from those people in the Li family. Even if you had told me the truth, I would have helped you."
Tu Jiao said.
"Ah?"
Tian Yi was stunned. He hadn't expected things to turn around like this.
"Then, Junior Sister, are you saying this matter can still proceed?"
Tian Yi asked, full of surprise.
"What do you think?"
Tu Jiao rolled her eyes.
Actually, Elder Li and Elder Tu had a good relationship, a fact known to very few people in both the Li and Tu families.
Wang Yue was not interested in the feud between the Li and Tu families. He was now completely captivated by Elder Li's illness. There was indeed a treatment method for such an illness within his Fuxi Nine Needles technique.
Wang Yue fetched silver needles.
He first heated them with fire, then flicked them gently.
"Deng..."
The silver needle vibrated. Wang Yue inserted the needle.
He then repeated the process, and soon Elder Li was covered in silver needles.
Perhaps it was due to his Physique breaking through 90, but Wang Yue felt no fatigue at all. In fact, he felt quite relaxed.
After completing the acupuncture, Wang Yue said, "He will wake up in ten minutes."
Tu Jiao had already witnessed the magic of Wang Yue's needlework and naturally believed him.
Tian Yi's lips curled upward as he thought about the compensation he would receive. It seemed heaven was on his side.
Ten minutes later.
The old man on the bed slowly woke up. Before he could even open his eyes, he began to cough violently, then spat out a pool of foul-smelling black blood, polluting the entire room.
